Very Pretty

Color was very good and deep blue, silver work was very nice and the price was fantastic. Looks really good when I wear them, their large enough to be noticed, but not so large that you can wear with very casual clothes.

"Collecting jewelry and gemstones has been my passion ever since childhood."

The artistry of Neeru Goel has been featured in Depth magazine.

"Hi! My name is Neeru Goel and I was born on September 19, 1960. I spent most of my childhood in Kolkata, a metropolis in West Bengal. Collecting jewelry and gemstones has been my passion ever since childhood. I have been greatly inspired by my grandmother who used to look into each and every detail, from how jewelry is made to what had been used to make the jewelry. I remember when I was just a child, my grandmother used to watch nomads walking on the roads and admire them for wearing huge and fancy jewelry.

"I am a housewife, I married very young and today I am blessed with a beautiful daughter. However, being a housewife was not my cup of tea so I decided to convert my hobby into a trade.

"I recently started designing sculptures in silver with Meenakari art. This was suggested by a friend, who by looking at my designing skills thought I could also make a mark in sculpting. I am overwhelmed at this new experience, and I am looking forward to continuing on this new artistic path.

"It feels great to see my products being admired by other people and I hope with time my products will be admired and purchased not only by my people but also by people from outside my country. I believe my dream will come true through this esteemed company."

Lapis Lazuli Jewelry

Lapis lazuli is an admirable gem. Its deep blue hue is speckled with a golden light, making it one of the most prized gems in ancient times. It was even more valuable than gold for some. The ancient Egyptians regarded it as the stone of truth while other civilizations believed that dreaming of lapis meant that love would forever be truthful. Be enchanted by Novica's lapis jewelry collection, crafted by artisan jewelers who have fallen under the gem's beautiful spell.
